Heggles are making a comeback though.
Although I'd have to be arsed to make that but I can go out for a fry up. Saying that I'd have to walk a while to get to a decent one. If I go to the place across the road I have to tell the waitress to tell the chef that I don't want ends with solid yolks (he can fuck up friend, scrambled and poached) and that I want fresh bacon not stuff he cooked earlier and shoved in the microwave.

"The Germans have more than fifty ways of preparing pork, several of which are probably illegal in the US, but they canot make bacon"
Goes for Switzerland, too.
German sausages are awesome, but the Swiss ones are awful. It also costs a minimum of £1.20 per sausage for even the saltiest, fattiest, most sawdust-laden economy sausages.
sniff.

It's pretty enough. I like Neuchatel a bit more, though. Thins are a lot more relaxed on the Romande side of the country.

I do feel a bit happier going over the Rostigraben.
Not just because I can manage French a bit better than German.

Government subsidies.
Imports are massively taxed to be more expensive than Swiss produce. The Swiss farmers know this, so can charge what they like and the standards are low, but they will always get the money they want. Also, the large nationalistic streak of the local populace means they will buy Swiss over better imports.

That's a bit of a generalisation
I'm sure that there's are morally proud farmers in there. They'er probably the ones that yodel.

Nope.
Monopoly is not just a board game here...
And even if a farmer did sell his stuf cheaply, then the supermarkets would mark it up. We have effectively only two supermarkets here and what few other stores there are are usually owned by one of those two. Same wit the electronics stores, clothing shops, almost everything.

I meant farmers that produced quality meat.
There's always a market.

YOu know what I miss.
You remember about 6-7 years ago they did an international cow festival and they took a 100 idenital lifesized cow models, had the lot painted on by artists and displayed in prominant public places round the world?
It was fantastic. Wandering round town and seeing bizaare looking bovines in the must unusual places then you'd come back in a month's time and there'd be a different one near where the previous one had been.

excerpt from chapter 5: the power of small animals
choose your animal carefully to match your hugging style. an animal that is too large may be hard to keep still for long enough to hug. an animal that is too small will burst under pressure (though this may be advantageous under extreme stress situations- refer to appendix C: "bloodbaths and killaxing")
